    Hi Julie, I have upcycled cashmere for more than two decades and made beautiful garments for myself and family members. It is a great way for environment and resources. I hope more people can join us.

    Julie, I think the rabbit hole you fell in is an awesome one. It’s a wonderful idea to save your mom’s sweaters and also the cashmere ones. I hope you are able to make something incredible from them all. I think it’s incredible you rescue cats. We have neighbors two doors down that their cat thinks we are his second home. He’s a precious orange fellow. Stresses me out but I love him just the same. Oh, your giveaway - I am a dog person but this neighbor’s cat has touched my heart. You are amazing. Love that bag your sister bought for you at the yarn fest. So fun. Great podcast. Have a wonderful spring.

    Love your podcast, Julie. We have had both dogs and cats. Our cats will always hold a special place in my heart with fond memories. Currently we have a dog that we rescued, a lab mix. She’s a sweetheart. I don’t think I could be without a pet. ❤️🐶🐈

    I wish I could show you but we got a new kitty in January. My husband went and got her without speaking to me but I couldn't be annoyed with the little beauty. She's pure white with a big long bushy tail. Her mum is Turkish Angora and she really looks like her.
    She has settled well with our boys of 14 and 13. Harry our tabby defied the odds and survived a head injury at 5wks old. Learned how to walk again and no-one would know now.
    Our grey tabby (Bengal cross) Chewy moved in with us and wouldn't leave about 12yrs ago. We've been very blessed 😻

    You are so willing to try new things. You are generous and kind and so full of life and love. I smile the whole time I watch you share your joy of all you do. I have three kitties and I want some of the kitty yarn, your colors and beautiful yarn selections you brought home, I am so excited for you. Nothing quite as wonderful as yarn exploring and shopping all in one place like a festival. You are star and one that shines bright. Thank you for posting and going down rabbit holes and sharing your thoughts and ideas.

    Great to see you again and learn about what you have been up to. I am a dog person at heart, but have also rescued several cats. Right now we have a 14 year old labradoodle. We are doing our best to keep her comfortable as she has many old age issues. We love her dearly.

    Hi Julie! Thank you for another episode, you inspire and make me smile with each watch! One of each, a three legged shih tzu we adopted who is quite literally the princess of the house. And then poor Tiger, our grey tabby. He thought he was king, right up until princess came along. Now they stare at each other from across the room, which they have both agreed is about as close as they are willing to get to one another!

    I too went down the same rabbit hole! It's pretty rewarding to buy a sweater from a thrift store, unravel it and end up with hanks of beautiful yarn! Oh and I love cats and dogs. I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you so much for sharing your crafting with us❤

I really have been enjoying your podcasts, so thank you and congrats on reaching 5,000! Oh, and I do love cats, but mostly I am a dog lover. Thank you for your dedicated rescue cat work. It is very admirable. 🙂

    It was so nice to catch up with you! I think it is wonderful that you are able to create something new and special from your mother's clothing. What a treasure that will become. A true gift you give yourself! I am a lover of dogs and cats. My husband has allergies to most animals, and as a result, we have had Shih Tzus for pets. They are smaller dogs with great personality. I often say that having a pet is a lot of work, but the reward you receive is far greater! ❤

    Colorado sounds lovely. Still in winter woolies in UK 🇬🇧. I was a dog person but now im a both, as our 10 year outdoor feral cat suddenly decided to make friends and has gone from, "don't touch me!" to "your lap is mine, stroke me!" and now my house is his! 😂 First time watching, loved the birdsong and the yarn show and projects.

    • @TheKnittyKats

    Thank you Julie for this lovely time. I truly appreciate every time you podcast, take your time, do it when you can, we are here. I only have had dogs and canaries in my life but I like cats very much too. My son and his partner have a beautiful rescued cat, Teddy and I love him very much, maybe someday. I am casting a wrap/scarf, that I saw at my daughter’s local yarn shop -Duality by Jane Vanselous, it will be very pretty for your black and white yarn❤

    I hope you’re doing okay with losing your mom. Moms are the best! I miss mine.
    I love cats and dogs and every animal that exists.
    I hope and pray that we don’t take all the the things that animals need to survive. We as humans are very selfish with our own needs and we need to wake up and think about over fishing, buying up every stitch of land so there’s none left for the animals! The ocean dies, we die.

    I've been watching you since that 1st show and love you're content. You are so pleasant and your beautiful cat's and what you do for them is amazing. I used to hide kittens under my bed in shoe boxes when I went to school,so my mother wouldn't find them hopefully while I was in school. I love cat's so much and have had one in my life since I was on my own going to college. Take care of my neighbors 2 cat's when they go on vacation and see them every day. I also love dogs. Keep up the great work your doing.

    Congratulations Julie on reaching 5,000 subscribers. I’m a cat and dog person but currently only have one rescue cat who is 12 years old. I also love unravelling knitted garments. My mum taught me when I was very little the joys of reusing pulled out yarn. I’m currently knitting a jumper with wool used twice before. It gives me such a sense of well being reusing the yarn. Like you we also have a camper van and enjoy touring around the UK where we live. Have fun with the recycling of your knits.

It is wonderful that you will think of her every time you put it on! and you can pass it down to your daughter. Congrats on your 5K subscribers! I am actually a dog person - have 2 springers.

    Great episode Julie! Each podcast is better than the last, if that is possible! You are helping me find my knitting mojo, somehow it disappeared 😮, heaven forbid! Talk about a rabbit hole…..
    Cats and dogs, both favorites….❤

    I really enjoy your podcasts outdoors in nature! I am so glad you kept the pink cashmere sweater. It’s beautiful! I am a cat lover. They bring so much joy! What a great idea to dye yarn the colour of rescue cats! Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! 🎉💕

    Hi Julie, we had a black and white cat and she lived for 15years. Just beautiful, quiet and loved being in her felted cat basket. We miss her around but as we now live in a retirement village we don’t have any pets living with us. Thanks for the new podcasts to watch, and I think I would love to try doing the recycling idea too.

    Catching up on your episodes while knitting on my deck listening to birds chirping and feeling like you are here with me. I came across Herd of Cats yarn at Rhinebeck in 2022 and had to pick the yarn that matched my orange tabby, Spencer. Sadly, I lost him a few days after that and this year I picked up yarn from them matching my white gray tabby rescue Gary 😺 I’m so glad you mentioned them.

    Undoing garments is so much fun. I did this when I was a poor teenager. But it’s also fun for nice luxurious yarns. 💚

    I’m a cat person! I just received a new cat for my 73rd birthday, a Maine Coon cat that I had been looking for. We had one in CT about 20 years ago and we all remembered how loving and lap sitting he used to be. My new cat is a cuddlier so that makes me very happy. The sewing world also has a tool similar to your hand iTool. This episode was great. The yarn from Louise Robert is beautiful and I may have looked at it on the store site!!

    Hi Julie, I love both cats and dogs, but I only have a cat now, a rescue of course. Her name is Squeaks. She's a beautiful tuxedo. I love hearing the birds when you video outside. The chickadees warmed my heart. When I was 5 I helped my dad make a bird house. He called chickadees 'Spitzees'. He always called that birdhouse my spitzee house.
